On the Frankfurt Rhein-Main airport a was, as on the other landing sites of the Western zones, as usual. Then came a highly unusual announcement: Moscow had after 26 days At last Berlin remembers. The Russians described its offer as an act of unprecedented humanity and generosity. The Berlin calculated: 100,000 tons of food promise the Russians us, 75,000 tons they owe us but still, result all 25,000 tons - and only to buy the Russian sector. The already tired housewives made the strangest ideas from their future purchasing ways: between Charlottenburg Lichtenberg of Zehlendorf, Pankow and Reinickendorf to Treptow. And they held it still with the airlift that brought their daily rations closer to your door. Because one thing is clear to the Berliners: the Western allies and their aircraft are the best guarantee against hunger. No gesture of the Soviets could compete with RAF Gatow as this English airfield began his week so far arbeitsreichste.

Then the author Gerd Theunyssen said: "our opponents have unmasked as enemies and enemies will remain as long as they justify the rape of the body, mind and soul with a socialism, which is a travesty. Others who responded for Berlin, down with the people's democracy, long live democracy"were the actor Hans Söhnker, Otto Stolz, count Luckner, the editor Walter Karsch, actor Viktor de Kowa, writer and editor Günther Birkenfeldt and Reinhardt free spokesperson Berlin students, the writer Hertha von Gebhardt, the painter Henry Hildebrandt as a representative of the German resistance movement.
